Also use the much larger and heavier ammo cans for storing wind-up radios, electric components, communication devices, battery powered gizzmos (cattle prod type), lasers, etc. I should probably put the electronic powder scales in there too.
All batteries in storage are replaced with new ones every five years. The latest replacement cycle was two years ago...
Not that we'll need them if there's an EMP, but we do "can" our phones each night in (you guessed it) a bedroom ammo can. Also put an industrial grade baking pan over the laptops after covering the laptops with a heavy sheet of aluminum foil at night - that may be a nothinburger but we're trying.
Haven't used tin foil for a hat yet though...:rolleyes:
Yeah, I know all this sounds pretty screwy - until its not.
Hope we never need these supplies but life does get crazy at times in unimaginable ways...
